Free multitail software for linux

silc improved is an SILC client without a user interface. silc improved does output via files and input throught FIFOs. Most features of SILC are implemented.
Commands:
/j < channel > join to a channel
/l [channel] leave the actual or named channel
/msg < nick > < message > send a private message
/set signed < on|off > Set signing of messages on/off
/set signal_detach < on|off > When SIGTERM or SIGINT is caught, si detaches the session
/query < nick > Start a query with the user, so all private messages are no longer written in the master channel. the query has his own directory under $silcidr/query/$username
/names prints the users of the actual channel
and all other silc commands ( unkown commands are directly send to the server )
Usage:
There are endless possibilities using si. i use in one window a multitail and in the other the python input shell, you can find in the CVS.
Installation;
first you had to install libsilc (http://silcnet.org)
